:Serenity: To be fair, her reason for doing so was completely legitimate.

User avatar level 3 NoNameAvailableBis · 1 day ago The reasons were legitimate, but the exact strategy might have not be entirely adequate to adress the situation. Of course, that was a lot to ask of Morgan, given that she essentially was struggling with her own bout of depression at the time.

Even the reasons might have been misguided, I'd say.
Morgan was right that being taken advantage of was Baobhan Sith's Achilles' heel, but only considered the scenario in which evil fairies took advantage of her kindness. The coup de grace, however, came from a human taking advantage of Baobhan Sith's cruelty and selfishness.
Yeah, it's understandable given Morgan's past, and I'd dare say that PHH Morgan's memories didn't help (Mordred's mother is never the best role model). But still, not good parenting.

User avatar level 5 Shin-Bufuman · 1 day ago JUSTICE AND SWIMSUITS FOR LIP Let's be fair, we mostly know it was a bad call due to hindsight. Morgan thought Beryl was no threat to her or hers. That's kind of Beryl's whole THING, seeming polite and affable and subservient, and while some do recognize him as a monster, he's the monster that's on YOUR side. And then when you let your guard down...

User avatar level 6 Misticsan · 23 hr. ago I'd argue that Morgan had that insight. As we saw in Beryl's flashback, Morgan accurately pointed out that he doesn't really care about survival, and he confessed that he lives to mess with people. Morgan even asked him about Tristan (so the idea that he could be a bad influence wasn't unconceivable to her), and the only guarantee she got from Beryl was his claim that she was "neither pitiful, nor interesting".
If a parent trusts their kid to such a guy after hearing all that (bonus points for ending his speech with comments about how he loves ruining people's futures, harming legs and arms, and putting pitiful people out of their misery), they can't use the "I couldn't see it coming" card to excuse themselves.

User avatar level 7 Time-Abalone-3918 · 21 hr. ago Also Morgan has fae eyes, she must have known Beryl was a monster. It's beyond me why she didn't get rid of him considering she didn't really need him for anything.

User avatar level 8 Shadostevey · 20 hr. ago I think what went down was, she knew from her Faerie Eyes that he lives to make people suffer but had no desire to torture/harm Sith, so she thought it was fine. She didn't anticipate him harming Sith out of sheer apathy for her suffering.
The given reason she brings him back after resetting the Lostbelt is A. so the Crypters/Foreign God won't see anything amiss like they would if he just disappeared and B. gratitude for him, however inadvertently, enabling her reign.
It's kind of amazing how Morgan gets slammed for being this ruthless tyrant and yet her downfall can be traced to her not being ruthless enough.

I'd highlight this reason as particularly important since, as she herself pointed out in the aforementioned flashback, Olympus was her main priority. It was ultimately Beryl's and Morgan's sabotage which stopped the Atlantic Lostbelt, not anyone else. Not even Chaldea.

I'd include among that the leeway she gave to the clan heads, which ultimately led to her downfall. It's not even a case of "fairies being assholes" (heck, Spriggan was human); any history buff and/or Crusader Kings player knows that scheming feudal lords are a ruler's worst nightmare. I suppose it can be blamed on PHH Morgan never knowing any other political system.

enough.
It's basically the entire reason for her downfall.
She decides not to trust..., but still trusts others like Woodwose or the Tam Lin. Look at how that ended up, all four betrayed her in some capacity. Yes, even Sith. However roundabout, she's a big reason for Woodwose's betrayal, which itself should constitute betrayal.
And that's really just scratching the surface.

User avatar level 10 NotSpecialDude · 5 hr. ago I think part of the problem is that she didn't really know HOW to run the Kingdom. It's not like she had much experience. Her time as Asec had her do everything herself, with only a few allies to aid her. She only had PHH Morgan's Memories as a guide to rule and ruling a country was something she never did.
Her trust in the clan heads was probably necessary to her because it allowed her to let them handle the logistics of running the country. Woodrose was in charge of the Fang clan who were the effective military a majority of the time. The isle had an economic system that needed maintaining and several heads kept it running. The only thing Morgan's Camelot did was keep Cerunos' in check (Which the fairies didn't know) and house Morgan's personal Army. Fairies only lived in Camelot because they felt that the calamities would never touch them there.
Spriggan's betrayal is key as he was human. He straight out said that Morgan wasn't fit to rule. And unlike the whimsical fairies, he was pragmatic in his thinking.
